Dental Implants at The Willows Dental Practice
Restore Your Smile with Confidence, Comfort, and Lasting Results
About Dental Implants
At The Willows Dental Practice, we understand that losing a tooth can impact your confidence and oral health. Dental implants offer a reliable, long-term solution for replacing missing teeth, providing a natural look and feel. Made from titanium, implants act as artificial roots, anchoring crowns, bridges, or dentures securely in place. They not only restore function for eating and speaking but also stimulate the jawbone to prevent bone loss, preserving your facial structure and protecting remaining teeth.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
- Natural Feel and Function: Implants are designed to look, feel, and work like natural teeth.
- Bone and Tooth Support: They stimulate the jawbone, reducing bone loss and keeping nearby teeth stable.
- Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
- Improved Quality of Life: They eliminate the discomfort of loose dentures and help restore your smile with confidence.
Q&A: Your Dental Implant Questions Answered
1. What exactly is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that’s placed in the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. It supports a crown, bridge, or denture to replace missing teeth.
2. Is the implant procedure painful?
The implant placement is generally performed under local anesthesia, so discomfort is minimal. Many patients report less pain than expected, and any soreness can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
3. How long does the implant process take?
The complete process can take several months, as the implant needs time to integrate with the jawbone before a crown, bridge, or denture is attached. Your dentist will provide a personalized timeline based on your case.
4. Are dental implants suitable for everyone?
Most adults with good general and oral health are candidates for implants. However, a consultation is necessary to assess bone density and overall suitability. We offer a comprehensive evaluation at The Willows Dental Practice to determine if implants are right for you.
5. How do I care for my dental implants?
Implants require the same care as natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are essential for maintaining their longevity and health.
6. How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last many years, often for a lifetime. Regular check-ups at The Willows Dental Practice help ensure they remain in top condition.
